PRESS & PRAISE FOR THE FILM:
“A quietly stunning doc… Brittany Shyne’s delicate meditation on Black farmers in the United States [uses] black and white palette to gorgeous effect, finding precise language in moody shades and dramatic contrasts”
– The Hollywood Reporter
“A work of political activism through sheer lyricism.”
– Rolling Stone
“Seeds isn’t just a stunning portrait of the people who labor to feed the world. It’s also about a lifestyle that runs counterintuitive to the exploitative forces in which many of us live our lives. It’s a reminder, too, of what we might lose if not protected fiercely.”
– RogerEbert.com
One of the must-see documentaries at Sundance.”
